"Monster Hunter Wilds Surpasses 10 Million Sales, Capcom Reveals Success Secrets"

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 18,2025

Monster Hunter Wilds continues to dominate the gaming market, having surpassed the impressive milestone of 10 million copies sold. This achievement marks a new record for Capcom, making Monster Hunter Wilds the company's fastest-selling game ever, outpacing even the remarkable sales of Monster Hunter World.

Capcom attributes the phenomenal success of Monster Hunter Wilds to several key factors. The game's introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, allows players on different platforms to enjoy the game together seamlessly. Additionally, the simultaneous launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC has broadened its appeal, contrasting with Monster Hunter World, which saw a delayed PC release. These strategic moves have significantly contributed to the game's first-month sales record of over 10 million units.

Innovative gameplay features such as the new Focus Mode mechanic and seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems have further enriched the player experience. The fusion of these new elements with the core Monster Hunter gameplay has generated substantial excitement among fans, propelling the game to unprecedented sales heights.

Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive continuous updates, keeping the community engaged. Title Update 1, launching on April 4, introduces a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement for players to gather and interact. Title Update 2, scheduled for the summer, promises the return of Lagiacrus, adding even more content to explore. For a comprehensive overview of these updates, check out IGN's detailed coverage of the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 showcase.

While Monster Hunter World holds the title as Capcom's best-selling game with 21.3 million copies sold, the trajectory of Monster Hunter Wilds suggests it may eventually surpass this record.
